Well, I did it again. I signed up for the 32nd annual Winter Park Road 10K, scheduled for March 14 at 7:30 a.m. (There is a two-mile fitness run and healthy heart walk at 7.) http://bit.ly/uUvlT

In a marriage or dating relationship, you have a built-in fitness buddy -- so why not take advantage of it? http://bit.ly/7AMVX

OUC Half: New Course

PAMA — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 10:01:56 -0600

Hello!

I am new to the group but am a long time runner (though a beginner at long distance running--the OUC half this Saturday will be my first).

Has anyone seen the new course map for the race? It's radically different from last year's. It's sort of a gigantic loop with one long, straight stretch that goes on for about two miles.

I think the weather will be on the warm side but after training all summer in the extreme heat, I'm not complaining!

Good luck to everyone running the race!

Adam sets a goal!!!

Well Adam is putting his running shoes where his mouth is (YUCK). After a brief recovery from a recent minor procedure, he vows to shatter a 22min 5K at an upcoming event!!!

Can he do it gang?!?

Will he DO IT?!?!

Will we give him support?!??!

Will someone please lend him a bicycle 'cause that's the only way I see him breaking that mark!!!

Favorite part of a run...

What is your favorite part of a run? Whether its a race or a training run, there is a favorite part. And its not the route I'm asking about. What moment in a run is your favorite regardless of the route or race?

For me its when I lean into a turn. I like my routes and races to be technical,that is with many turns because I love it when I lean into a turn and give it an extra effort. Why the extra effort? Well, on a turn I will slow down naturally so I give the extra effort for the turn and a few steps after it just to maintain my pace. I love the turns!
